Dropdown menu covered by combo box on IE6

Hi all,

The dropdown menu on my site should open on the top of a combo box below it and it works fine with Safari & Firefox, but there is a strange problem on IE6. The combo box covers part of the dropdown menu (dropdown menu opens behind combo box).

I'm not specialist with HTML or CSS, so please be gentle.

Thanks,
Ben.

This is a bug in IE. Try searching for "iframe shim" and you should find many helpful tips. Essentially, you need to create an empty iframe that sits behind your menu. The iframe will prevent the <select> from poking through.

It solved the problem.
